Target, Ulta Beauty Plan Retail Collaboration — 4th Update
Nov 11, 2020

Cosmetics retailer Ulta Beauty Inc. plans to open shops inside more than 100 existing Target Corp. stores starting next year and be added to the retailer's website, the companies said Tuesday.

The news lifted Ulta's stock price to its highest level since before the coronavirus pandemic. Ulta has said the pandemic prompted the company to expand ways that customers can find its products. For Target, the move is seen bringing higher-end cosmetics into its lineup and sprucing up Target's beauty aisle.

"This is probably not a foot-traffic driver, but it could be a basket enhancer" for Target, said Michael Baker, an analyst at D.A. Davidson Cos.

why i got feeling is wrong move? target is for cheapos, erm, i mean budget families.
bring high end will it move into wrong direction?
but then i am looking frm an SG perspective. dunno how the situation is diff in US.

3 Dividend Stocks With Super-Safe Payouts
Nov 9, 2020

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)
Waste Management (NYSE:WM)
NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE)

JNJ stock dividend continues to remain resilient in a volatile economy. The company current dividend yield is 2.9%, which is higher than the S&P 500’s 2%. It has also raised its dividend for the last five decades and shows potential for greater growth.

The company currently offers a dividend yield of 1.9%. While this is on the lower end of the spectrum, it has remained consistent for years. A growing stream of cash has enabled Waste Management to increase its dividend for the last 17 years.

With a recession-proof business model and growing dividend, Waste Management is a stock that’s worth holding on to during turbulent times.

NextEra’s business model is poised to benefit from the growing renewable energy trend but that’s not its only attractive feature. The company’s dividend yield is a major reason many investors hold on to this stock for a long time. NextEra has seen an annual increase in its dividend for 26 consecutive years. It hopes to increase the current value by 10% per year by 2022. Given its strong dividend history, NextEra is a poised for greater upside.

The energy sector is fairly recession-proof, so it comes as no surprise that NextEra is able to sustain dividends in a volatile economy. Moreover, the company’s strong position in renewable energy will lower costs and increase its dividend in the coming years.

Nov 13, 2020

McDonald's Corp (N:MCD) will inspect all its U.S. restaurants to ensure compliance with safety standards as coronavirus cases surge again and "COVID fatigue" sets in, according to an internal note seen by Reuters on Friday.

"It is apparent we are entering what many predicted would be the most difficult period of the pandemic," said the note, from McDonald's Chief Field Officer Charlie Strong and two U.S. franchisees who lead internal relations with the corporation.

The so-called "safety reaffirmation visits" were developed jointly with franchisees, the note said, and should be concluded by Dec. 31. The company may conduct follow-up visits where necessary.

Company-owned stores will also be examined, McDonald's said.
